And, I liked that even though it was packed, the line moved quickly. My kids liked looking down at the tank from above, definitely a different view. If you didn’t know, the aquarium pretty much forces a flow in order and the shark bridge is the last attraction. ![]() But, for my kids, it was a great way to exit the facility. It is VERY secure so if you are less imaginative about these kinds of things like I am, it’s not that scary.
While you might not be used to it in regular D&D-because let's face it, who wants to keep track of it-when a creature is in dim or low light, your attack rolls will immediately be put at disadvantage. Always be on the lookout for anything like a brazier that you can set alight. ![]() Many of the encounters that you face in Solasta will take place at night or in dark caves. Whatever type of party fits your playstyle though is all up to your own discretion. My Solasta team is comprised of a Human Paladin, for flat bonuses in stats and high damage a Halfling Ranger, with the Spy background for different interaction triggers and the ability to fight at close and far ranges a Snow Dwarf Cleric (Life Domain), to deal consistent damage while also being able to support all of my characters and a High Elf Wizard, dealing magical damage from afar. It's through creating and exploring that group synergy that you'll be able to create a strong and diverse team. Your Wizard will have lower health and poor physical strength but can hang back and try to deal damage to a large number of enemies at once. ![]() With another character, you might be able to cover that weakness.Ī Fighter is great up close and personal but can only attack one enemy at a time if swarmed by a number of enemies they might be in trouble. Take your time reading through the different class descriptions and sub-classes so that you can understand what each class has going for it-and where it lags behind. It's good to get a variety of characters going so you're not at the mercy of close combat only, or no one is able to do large AoE damage or even heal. ![]() While encounters can be completed any way you want, you're going to have a better chance if you spread out your characters.Ĭhances are most games you've played that involve a party of characters will narrow those characters down to roles. There's nothing in Solasta to tell you that you can't play through the game with a group of Wizards who call themselves Dumbledore's Army, living out all of your high-fantasy Hogwarts dreams, but certain situations call for different kinds of characters. It's your character, so do what you want to create them to your liking. While important to a lesser effect, if you picture your Paladin wielding a Battle Axe instead of a Sword and Shield, then why not let them have it. The last level of customization you can do for your class is picking what equipment they have available at the beginning of the game. Extra attacks obviously lend themselves again to getting into the middle of a battle and doing some big damage. Did you know a Paladin can attack once more per attack action or shove when they reach Level 5? Knowledge of where your character might be by the end of the campaign will help you understand the role of your character further. This will let you plan for the future and know what your character is going to grow into. In the upper right of this screen is the "At Higher Levels" button. If your Paladin is going to be your DPS class, then you'll want to follow the Oath of the Motherland and get all kinds of fire-affinity attack spells, whereas the Oath of Devotion turns your paladin into a great Tank/Healer. When putting together your team, being aware of these subclasses will allow you to hone down class roles further. As well as flavor text you'll also learn when you get the chance to specialize (and what bonuses you get for specializing). It's where you learn about what weapons and armor you're proficient at along with any special abilities, but there are some other fields that you'll want to check out before you progress from this screen.ĭirectly under the name of the class in the center will be a button to view the subclasses available. The features are what make your class unique from another. Again on the left, you'll have what info you've got so far about your race stats, but on the right, you'll see all of the different features. The Class screen in Solasta is filled with all kinds of information. Will they become a powerful wizard hurling the elements around the room? or a Rogue that will have everything out of your pockets before you're aware he's there? While your character's race decides how tall they are and their starting bonus stats, it's their class that will decide what they'll grow up to become. See how your character develops as they level Lazy Tristan: He shows up at the draft with nothing but a printout of ESPN's 10-team mixed Rotisserie 5x5 cheat sheet. Interesting side characteristic: LOUDMOUTH LIKES TO TYPE WITH THE CAPS-LOCK KEY ON!ġ0. The rest of the time it's annoying and slows down the draft. Loudmouth Tristan: He's loud, and he's entertaining - sometimes. What can I say? I grew up nine miles from Yankee Stadium!ĩ. For me, that team is the New York Yankees.

Cocky Tristan: He knows his, um, stuff (that's not his chosen word, by the way). "I can't draft that night." "How long is this draft gonna take?" "Can we set a 10-second clock per pick?" K, gotta go. On-The-Go Tristan: He has a million things to do, and 10 minutes to do them. Just wait until he sees the final 10 picks he made once he started losing track of things.ĥ. and the messy cheat sheets that go with them. Party Time Tristan: We're talking wings and beverages. (And watch out, because he might just propose that!)Ĥ. He's the guy with the six-page cheat sheet of 1,500 players printed in six-point Helvetica type, meticulously ranked to a depth that'd have him prepared if your league spontaneously decided to extend its draft 15 rounds. Geeky Tristan: With him, everything's analytical. ![]() Oh, and this guy was the first in line for the midnight showing of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." "This is gonna be AWESOME!"ģ. He was positive that "this" was the year Rich Harden would finally stay healthy - for about six straight seasons. ![]() For instance, he was sure Corey Patterson was destined for many 30-homer/30-steal years and potential MVPs. Puppy Dogs & Rainbows Tristan: He sees the upside in everything. Tristan: Well hi there! You might remember me from such Draft Kit columns as "Kings of Command" or "Secrets of a five-time champ" or, well, this very column you're reading.Ģ. This is us having a little fun as we educate.įirst, let's meet the. The idea is to not only give you a taste of what your actual draft might be like, but it's also to provide a sense of how your strategic self might approach a draft differently, not to mention what your live, draft-day experience might be like. These 10 personalities represent the instincts I have or have ever had as a fantasy baseball owner over the years. We're pleased to present the "One-Man Mock Draft." But this isn't one man selecting players where he'd normally select them, it's one man split into 10 different personalities selecting the players they'd take in each spot. Ah, but what follows below is no ordinary mock draft. And if we can't have that, we'll take the next-best thing: Mock draft day. OK, I suppose other family-oriented days represent competition for this honor, but for us fantasy baseballers, draft day ranks among the calendar's highlights. ![]() Sing it with me! It's the most wonderful day of the year. ![]() We accept individual player payments and allow prepayment for additional players and/or full teams. GENERAL POLICIESįray is proud to relieve captains of the burden of paying for full teams. Wearing the designated season’s team shirt will be required during both the regular season and playoffs in order to participate in the game. Failure to wear the DC Fray team shirt for a game will result in a player not being able to play in that week’s game. We will do whatever we can to make sure all players are having fun!ĭuring week 2 of the season, all players will be given DC Fray shirts for their team that are required to be worn for the duration of the season. We want everyone to have fun and be social while enjoying a great sport. Individuals who cannot adhere to our standards of fair play and sportsmanship may be asked to leave the league. Foul language and rough play will not be tolerated. While we have staff // officials, we expect individuals to respect the league’s culture of fair and fun play. The line is IN bounds.įirst and foremost, all Fray leagues are 50% Social and 50% Sport. Out of bounds is the area outside the designated court line.When executing a block or spike, a player may follow through over the net, as long as the individual does not interfere with players on the other side of the net.Contact with hair or part of the uniform will not be considered a fault.Player contact with the net in a manner not directly relating to or affecting the course of play is not a violation.No part of the body may touch the net at any time unless a ball or person driven into the net causes the contact. ![]() No player may hit the ball twice in succession, except after a block.A block attempt is not considered a contact.A maximum of three consecutive contacts per side after a serve or block attempt are allowed to return the ball.Any use of an ineligible player will result in a forfeit.All players must agree to the Fray Liability Waiver as described in the Fray Terms and Conditions section of Player Registration.If a player is registered on more than one team within the league, they may only play for one team in the playoffs.All players must be properly registered on a team during the season for which they are playing.All Players must be at least 21 years of age and have current, adequate health insurance.Free agent teams (merged small groups or all FAs made into teams) tend to have larger rosters as the players typically do not know one another and everyone’s schedule varies week to week.ĭownload + Print Rules // PLAYER ELIGIBILITY It’s not fair to the other teams in the league who expect to play each week if a smaller team cannot field a team week to week. Our roster sizes tend to allow for more players as our goal is to avoid forfeits at all costs. You can purchase a team spot for a roster of 9 and only fill your desired number but those additional spots are technically used and are not refundable. Example, 6v6 volleyball is 9 players officially but your team only wants 6 players. Teams who want to “lock” their roster may prepay for a team at the official roster size. Being a promoted team does not mean you may not receive additional players. After registration closes DC Fray goes through and finalizes rosters by placing free agents, merging groups and deleting unpaid players. During registration captains can pick up free agents or mark their group as ready to merge via commish. DC Fray reserves the right to add additional players to ANY team that is under the official roster size for the league.

![]() Plus, the cues from the ‘voice’ were simply about where to move your body next, no encouraging instructions for deepening the posture.Īlthough it was a tough workout, by about 30 minutes in I wanted to throw my iPad across the room. The flow through was quick – too quick for me – and there were no postures held long enough to allow time to breathe into and focus or feel anything. The practice was focused on standing moves and continued the same flow of postures over and over again which felt jarring and repetitive. Between instructions there was a constant stream of identical ‘inhaaaaale’ and ‘exhaaaaale’s that sounded like no yoga teacher I know. There were no instructions for how to do moves only cues like ‘bring your heels to the earth’ in Downward Dog (most people can’t get their feet near the earth!). Having a robotic voice saying things like ‘Come back to your centre’ is not something that helps bring me back to my centre. But coupled with the instructor’s Suri-like monologue, the hippy-in-the-lift music and the animation that didn’t change, I was creeped out. We did one sun salutation for 20 minutes – 20 minutes! – which was tedious enough. Inoffensive at first but played continuously for an hour….Īfter a short stretch in child’s pose we began a sun salutation that was so long and repetitive I thought something was wrong with my tablet. The interface was a lady in front of some water accompanied by a synthesised generic- funeral kind of organ music, like those CDs they play in spas that you wish they wouldn’t. I chose intermediate from the choices of beginner, intermediate and expert. It then went on to explain that Ocean with a high intensity interval training practice that cycles between intense yoga flow, strong holding postures and opening postures. There was no explanation of what kind of yoga we would be doing or its purpose so randomly I chose Ocean, 60 minutes. Each of the first three came with the choice of time: 30 min, 45 min or 60 min. I downloaded it and was offered five choices of workout: Ocean, Desert, Mountain, Sun Salutation A or Sun Salutation B. Pocket Yoga, at £1.99 seemed like a great idea. It was Saturday and I wanted a lie-in and something I could do at home before I hit the shops. Frankly, after nine days of straight workouts (stretching is a workout, okay) I was tired. It was under this impression that I tried Pocket Yoga. Take your fitness routine, yoga or meditation and do it anywhere with the snazzy press of a button on your tablet or phone.

And some planes have crashed when pilots failed to follow this rule, thinking they were flying level when they were really at an angle. Pilots are trained to ignore the visual context of the cockpit, which might be tilted, and just focus on the leveller. Planes now carry a leveller or “artificial horizon” in the cockpit that pilots use when they can’t see the real one. He says these principles have been used to improve the flying of aeroplanes. ![]() Prinzmetal goes on to point out that when a floor is slanted, it affects our perception, before saying that “when the perceiver’s body also is tilted, the distorting impact on vision is greatly magnified - up to two or three times.” You can’t look outside and get a horizon, so you think that what you see is right. You know the house is tilted, but you don’t know how much. “All the visual illusions in the Mystery House derive from the fact that the house is tilted.
